| Summary: | "This book gives an exposition of those psychological facts and principles which have particular reference to educational problems. In those instances where there was no established precedent for the inclusion or rejection of a particular item of subject matter, the guiding principle has been simply this: Does this constitute material which the student of education should know? The text treats the conventional subjects of educational psychology, namely, learning, retention and recall, work, fatigue and efficiency, intelligence and intelligence testing, educational measurement, heredity and environment, mental development, and related topics. The reader will also find short chapters dealing with the subjects of instinct, emotion, and physiological psychology. The author feels that our knowledge of the subject of personality has been developed sufficiently within the last few years to warrant a thorough discussion in a book of this kind. Certainly no apology is necessary for the inclusion of this subject in a textbook of educational psychology"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)
